VISTA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (“Flux Power”; OTCQB: FLUX), a developer of advanced lithium-ion batteries for commercial and industrial equipment including electric forklifts and airport ground support equipment (GSE), is deemed an essential business, providing energy to power equipment, enabling delivery of food and essential goods during the COVID-19 crisis.

Highlights:

  • Flux Power Deemed an Essential Business, consistent with announcements by Forklift OEMs and related supply chain who support the logistics industry, critical to delivering food and supplies during the COVID-19 crisis.
  • Key Flux Power Customers Expanding, due to increased demands of the COVID-19 crisis and placing increased orders to Flux Power for the coming months. Flux Power’s backlog is now $6.6 million, with strong indications from specific customers for substantial orders in the coming months.
  • Flux Power is Pre-announcing Revenue for Q3’20 of Approximately $5 million, reflecting progress in converting large fleets of our customers to lithium packs, and achieving performance and cost reductions over the life of the packs.

“Like most of America, we have taken the COVID-19 crisis very seriously, following CDC and government guidelines and restrictions. The safety and welfare of our employees are our first priority. As a second priority, we are operating at full production to meet demands of the material handling industry, which is delivering needed food and supplies across the nation.

“We are in a fortunate position of having a supply chain that remains fully operational, along with adequate inventory to fulfill near-term needs during this time of crisis. We believe our Q3’20 was a successful pressure test of our 'foundation' building as a fast-growing business, given continued expansion of our full product line production and distractions from COVID-19,” said Ron Dutt, Flux Power CEO.

Based on preliminary figures, we expect revenue of approximately $5 million for Q3’20, reflecting almost a 40% increase from Q2’20 prior quarter of $3.6 million. However, as a result of the increasing and evolving COVID-19 related risks and challenges that could negatively impact Flux Power’s business, we are unable to predict the level of impact on our business and financial results for the fourth quarter and the remainder of the calendar year. Flux Power plans to report 10-Q financial results on or before May 12, 2020.
